Right now it's a work in progress for me. I'm playing with a number of factors with stinger hooks. Thing like:

how fast does it get dulled if it hits the bottom?
how well does it get bit?
does hook size matter?
does it matter if I paint the hooks grey, silver or white?
does it matter if I just paint the wire any of those colors?
does it matter if I smear megastrike on the hookpoints?

There are two reasons why I won't use gammie hooks on my baits in certain situations:

One is because they can get bent out on big fish. I've seen it happen and it scares me. Consider that how hard a bass fights is very dependent on water temperature. When the water is warm, bass jump and fight and twist like crazy. When the water is cold, bass tend to not fight very much at all. I caught a few 9-10lb fish last month that went in the net in 10 or 15 seconds on gammie hooks. That same fish in July might be able to bend my hook out.

The other thing with gammies is that they dull very very easily if they hit rock or gravel bottom. If I was sponsored by gammie and got them by the 25 pack I wouldn't care, but it's just impractical for my to change stinger rigs 10 times a day.

There are two reasons I don't like Owner hooks:

One is because they only come in shiny black and shiny nickel. This to me is purely marketing. Hooks should not be shiny and they they should not be jet black or metallic silver. It's just retarded when you actually think about it.

The second reason is because they are so thick. The thickness increases the visibility to the fish.

Another note to add here... I have switched completely to Owner Hyperwire split rings on all my baits. I've had too many split ring issues in the past and I'm through with that. Owner Hyperwire's are the best split ring on the market right now period. They are super strong and they maintain their shape with a very minimal gap in the wire even after they are put over a wide eyelet.

So as you can see, there's a lot of considerations. If you're serious about it, you have to consider every single detail of you tackle like this because it will make a difference at some point. You can poo-poo this kind of stuff but it'll bite you in the ass at some point, believe me.
